Federer: "Nadal is Nadal........"

[clayqueen]

• Roger Federer discusses his future, Ivan Ljubicic, Rafael Nadal’s successes, Novak Djokovic and more | vavel.com

Federer was asked if he ever doubted a Rafa comeback, and the Swiss former world number one had a clear-cut response.

“Zero; absolutely not,” Federer said. “Maybe you journalists were upset, but we players of course were not. A guy who won nine times in Paris, nine times in Monte Carlo, who was world number one for much time does not lose his qualities. Maybe we have come to expect him to recover faster from injuries, but I cannot imagine Nadal at such a low level. To me, he is always there at the top. And on clay, he is still one of the first two or three players in the world,” Federer said.

“[The] King of clay is Rafa,” Federer said. “He is the tennis player to beat. Novak’s never won in Paris. Maybe now he’s the favorite, but Nadal is Nadal. I am happy of what he showed to those, who did not believe that he could win in Monte Carlo.”

Federer tells it as it is and he is right.

Nadal will win Paris and Djokovic will never win it. Fact.

Boris must have smashed his bottle of Scotch* reading this.

Lol k.

I predict Djoker silences the critics this year at RG and Rafa doesn't even make it to the Djoker match.

"Despite the operation [to repair his knee], my family supports me much and is happy to travel around the world with me. When the body will not keep up and at home they will be tired, I will stop. But I do not think that will happen so much soon. I still enjoy much playing, so you will see me for a few more years,” Federer said.

NICE !!!

 

[uliks]

So everybody thinks that Djokovic doesn't have a prayer at RG. Niiiiceee. I like when he is the underdog.

Never say never. In fact, I'll be betting my rent on Djokovic to win the FO. 109.87

[Sentinel]

So arrogant of Nadal to be Nadal.


He should try being Federer for a day and see how life is.

Off course Nadal is Nadal.

Other important definitions must take place :

Mussolini is Mussolini (D. Trump dixit)
Water is water
Cheerios are Cheerios
Sam is Sam
Lance Armstrong is Lance Armstrong
Bert & Ernie are Ernie & Bert
Operation Puerto eres operation Puerto
Dr. Eufemiano's undisclosed list is a undisclosed list....

Many unalienable truths out there...

Thanks dr Roger Sherlock Federer

i've spent thousands of hours studying nadal.. his footwork, his serve, his tenacity, his wedgies, his forehands, his backhands. the conclusion from my analysis? nadal is not someone else. nadal is nadal.
once again feder shows his goatness in recognizing this in probably far fewer hours than it took me or anyone else to realize it

 

[Jaitock1991]

Wow.. That is one jacked bull.

Like he rightfully always have been, except for the last year..

LOL! Too good! This had me cracking up.

Liking this post because it's hilarious, not because of the message

Anyway, relevant:

 

[LazyNinja19]

The mutual respect between Federer and Nadal is something else.


Although I would say Djokovic commands similar respect after all that he has achieved.
But still, FEDAL gonna FEDAL.

No no, I take that back ! LOL !

All four look like the result of a science experiment gone wrong.

One of the last two could be Chico, though.

Or the cigar fell in his scotch glass and smashed the scotch bottle with the glass

Nadal is not "Nadal" at the moment, yet.
